    If i don't want boats, can i still use this mod? Also should i install your "Bettr Key West Immersion" with this mod, or choose between the two? Thanks for the work.

    Vielen Dank für deine Arbeit :-) Ist Bijan Seasons kompatibel, oder muss ich es für Key West rausnehmen? Bezüglich der Wassermasken, kannst du da was machen? Die default Wassermaske ist wirklich schrecklich :D Wenn man sich dagegen andere Bereiche anguckt wie Nassau etc. da wirkt Key West wirklich schlimm dagegen. Liebe Grüße aus Nähe EDDW :)

    Hallo Hooky,
    vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar. Bijan Season ist kompatibel, aber setzt die Bäume nicht so wie handplaziert. Leider habe ich bisher keine Möglichkeit gefunden den wirklich guten Mod von Bijan zu überschreiben. Die Wassermasken habe ich bereits versucht zu verbessern, das Ergebnis konnte mich bislang nicht überzeugen.

    Ich werde den Key West Mod komplett erneuern. Geplant sind neue Vegetation, Brücken, Häfen und ein paar Gebäude.

    Is it compatible with the new mk studios key West airport? Greets

    Hello, and thank you for your comment. The Mod is compatible and you will see some better Marinas and some Vegetation changes along some Roads. But the new Airport overwrites some Areas of my Mod.
    I will make a new Mod soon, that comes with better Vegetation, better Marinas and maybe some POIs, if i have time for. This Mod will be fully compatible to "MK Key West" and compatible with MARINAS - BOATS AND PIERS by Mamudesign.
    Happy Landings!

    Hello Flap5. Sorry to bother you again, but this addon has a file Ive never seen before - bglIndex.bout. What this file do? Is it necessary to drag and drop it if I use this in MSFS2020 only? Seems like MSFS2024 sdk file or something. Thanks.
    Flap5Author

    Hello Battleoverlord,
    it seems to be that MSFS 2024's SDK is generating that bglIndex.bout.
    Both version, 2020 and 2024 are very different in the SDK.
    Happy Landings!

    Hello MXC,
    I've already worked a little bit on Marathon. I added a little bit of Ship Traffic and a Watermask nearby. I will work a little bit more in the future Update..
    Regards!

    Hi Sailorskip,
    i hope you enjoy the 2020 Version of the Mod. I will Upload the Version soon.. very soon :-)

    about 1 year ago

    Maybe you could try and fix the things that you put into 2024 that aren't working in 2020, like some of the bridges, because I know some of the things that are in this mod work in 2020 but not all of them, so maybe just fixing those things might take not as much time as you think...

    This looks great! Would appreciate a MSFS2020 version.

    Hi Foxquakes.. i tried to convert the version, but there is a compiler error. A complete new version for the MSFS 2020 would take too much time.
    Have a nice Weekend

    Maybe you should try and make it backwords compatible. Some things I believe actually work with this mod in 2020 maybe just try and fix the things that don't work in the 2020 version that you have in the 2024 sim?
